Ben Wicke named to ACWA regional board

     Ben Wicke, president of the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) board of directors, was recently elected to serve as vice-chair of the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) 2008-2009 Region 9 board of directors.
     Ben, a Canyon Lake resident, is a graduate of Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. He also earned a Certificate in Business Management from UC Riverside and is a local business owner. He has served on the Region 9 board since 1999, representing all of the water agencies in San Bernardino, Riverside and Imperial Counties.
      “I am very pleased and honored to serve with my esteemed colleagues on the Region 9 board,” says Ben. “This position will allow me the opportunity to work with officials from various areas of the state on plans that effectively manage one of our most important resources – water.”
     Ben has served on EVMWD’s board of directors since 1994 when he succeeded Charles Bryant. Re-elected to the board in 2006 to a four-year term, he also serves on the District’s Engineering and Operations Committee, and attends regular meetings with the Eastern Municipal Water District and Western Municipal Water District Water Supply Task Force. He will now serve as the Region 9 representative on the ACWA board of directors in Sacramento.
     ACWA Region 9’s primary goals are to provide a structure for agencies to meet and discuss water issues, provide the local outreach organization (grassroots support) necessary to advance ACWA’s legislative and regulatory priorities and provide a forum to educate region members on ACWA’s priorities and issues of local and statewide concern.
     “I will use this position to educate residents and stakeholders on the impact of the drought in California and how it relates directly to our water supply,” Ben notes.
